Abstract

The development of computational resources of NLP is usually an expensive task in terms of time complexity, mainly in knowledge acquisition phase. This task can be simplified by keeping the data in a central repository, which stores all the available lexical information of a particular language. This work describes the development process of DIADORIM, a relational lexical database for Brazilian Portuguese with around 1.5 million entries. Linguistics and computational development problems are deeply discussed. Interfaces for accessing and editing data were implemented and evaluated. (AU)
